Baby makes three! Delighted Fergie, seen with husband Josh Duhamel at the premiere of Safe Haven last week, has announced that the couple are expecting their first child

She's made no secret of her wish to be a mother.
And now a delighted Fergie has announced she is expecting her first child with her husband of three years, Josh Duhamel. 'Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!' tweeted the delighted singer, with the hashtag 'Mylovelybabybump', a reference to her hit song with the Black Eyed Peas.
Alongside her announcement Fergie tweeted childhood pictures of her and Josh, giving a glimpse as to what their child might look like.
The happy news comes after the 37-year-old, real name Stacy Ferguson, was forced to speak out to deny she was expecting.

What cuties! Fergie accompanied her announcement with what appeared to be a picture of her and husband Josh as youngsters

Back in September she said: ‘[People ask if I'm pregnant] every time I fluctuate a few pounds. Like right now, I'm a couple pounds up.
‘Sometimes I go a couple pounds down and I wear the clothes that are more fitted, but people kind of look at me because they're expecting [that] it's that time.'
But she told Rachael Ray: 'We do hope for children and that will be coming up, but it's not yet.’

So in love: The parents to be hug on their night out last week

The singer recently joked she and her hunky 40-year-old spouse were enjoying trying for a baby.
She said: 'We'll be happy when it happens. It's not really in our hands but trying is great for our relationship.'
Last year following the death of the couple's beloved rescue dog, Meatloaf, from a brain disorder, Josh revealed they were planning to start a family rather than replace the pooch.
He said: 'I think we're going to focus on our human baby first. Hopefully we'll have kids and then at some point we'll get another dog.'

Happy news: The couple have previously denied they were expecting, but made no secret of their wish to be parents

Fergie's Black Eyed Peas bandmate, Apl.de.ap, has previously insisted he wants to be godfather to her first child.
H said: 'Fergie's great and it would be amazing if she and Josh had a baby. I would definitely love to be godfather. It'll be one cool baby and she's such a cool lady.'
